King Kong on the Big, Big, Big Screen

What a nice date. Rob took me to our favorite Sushi restaurant. We had the "Love Boat". It has 18 pieces sushi mori, a california roll, and a spicy crab roll. With a bowl of seaweed and tofu soup. Lots of wasabi. Mmm, mmm, good. We actually couldn't eat it all.
Then he had a surprise lined out. We drove up to Bricktown (the entertainment area of the City). We went to the Harkins Capri theater. They have the largest screen in all of Oklahoma, and a 40,000 watt sound system, where we reclined in comfort in rocking chairs in an uncrowded theater for the awesome showing of "King Kong".
Now, we rarely go see a movie at the theater. Preferring to wait until it comes out on DVD and we can watch it from the comfort of our home. But if you are going to watch "King Kong", I suggest doing it on a big, big, big screen. The dinosaur stampeed and the T-Rex battle were AWESOME! And flying through the canyons and then flying around the Empire State Building caused serious vertigo. What a cool piece of film. We now understand why their production costs were so monumental.
Don't waste your time or money seeing it at a normal theater. See if you can find a Harkins theater in your area. It's worth it for this movie.
Harkins theaters are designed for higher-end movie enjoyment. It's the "yuppie" theater. No trash on the floors, stadium seating, reclining chairs, plenty of legroom. You can even lift up your armrest so you and your date can cuddle. Nice. And the Screen is gargantuan. It is wider than my backyard. We were comparing it to our back fence. I think the Emcee said it was over 80 feet wide? Nice.
My hubby is such a cool guy. (For a nerd).

We don't have any Harkins theaters around here, which might be why I haven't seen the King yet. Sounds like you did it in style.
